Turning
Last week early one morning I did the very same thing, I've done so many times before. I was stopped in traffic at a red-light and could not remember where I was or where I was going. My mind just went blank I had my itinerary for the day rolling in my head when I left my house. Somewhere between taking one child to Jr. High, one to elementary, and finally the youngest to pre-school, all the plans I had carefully thought out for the day seemed to vanish. Surely this isn't Alzheimer’s yet. I prayed “God help me remember". There is so much information fed into my computer, my brain, that I can't process it quickly enough. Sometimes my computer, my brain has a little glitch in it. My brain like a train quite often jumps the track. After a few car horns honk very loudly, after I talk out loud to myself, or to God I guess, and ask "where am I going?”, a little bulb begins to flicker somewhere in the back of my brain. The bulb finally lights up and I know to turn right.
Such is the confusion I face in my physical life here on earth. Sometimes I just don't know where to turn or where I am going next. After this experience at the red-light, the same little light bulb lit up again. I realized my spiritual life is as confusing as my physical life at times. I get so caught up in this temporary life on earth. It's almost as though I forget everything God's word teaches me.
James 4:14 For what is your life? It is a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away.
I forget God's itinerary that He has given to me.
Colossians 3:6 As ye therefore have received Christ Jesus so walk ye in Him.
I try to turn left when God is telling me to turn right. I know I know I am supposed to listen to Him. The sad thing is so many don't know to listen to God. They don't even know to ask him which way they should turn.
Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they know it not and there is no judgments in their goings and they have made crooked paths whosoever goeth there shall not know peace.
I am so thankful I can hear Him. God has to honk his horn very loudly sometimes to get my attention and get me to turn the right direction.
Isaiah 30:21 And their ears shall hear a word behind them saying, This is the way walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left.
Friend today let me remind you, don't let your spiritual life, your walk with your creator, jump the track. Remember this life is very temporary. Set your computer, your mind, to look up, look ahead, and know where you are going now in your walk with Christ. Also know where you are going next when you leave this earth. Try to make the turns as he directs you each day.
Proverbs 3:6 In all thy way acknowledge Him he shall make your path straight.
